I'm Bringin' Home Good News Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Yeah I'm bringin' home some good news 

Got some things you'll be glad to hear 

Like I'm leavin' town and won't be back 

Around just long enough to get my gear 

There won't be any goodbye kisses 

Well I'm puttin' on my leavin' shoes 

This is the end we're through it's over yeah 

I'm bringin' home some good news 

Well I was sittin' downtown in a tavern 

And I made up my mind to go 

And I knew you would be so glad to be free 

I just thought to call you to let you know 

Oh you can tell all your backdoor daddys 

That your big daddy's done blew a fuse 

This is the end we're through it's over yeah 

I'm bringin' home some good news 

To you I been known as bad news 

Well I'm changin' my first name 

And I'm givin' you your freedom baby 

That old race won't kinda change 

Yeah go to hide your lookman slippers 

I won't be lookin' around for blues 

This is the end we're through it's over 

Yeah I'm bringin' home some good news 

Good news there's some good news for you honey 

I'm bringin' home some good news 

I'm bringin' home some good news honey
